Option 1

 * Article title
 * Political economy of communications


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a solid foundation, information I can clearly use and rearrange, but as of right now the introduction paragraph shoves the reader into naming scholars of political economy within communications rather than introduce the idea of it briefly. The paragraph of fields of study is the most useful because we finally are introduced to what political economy is conceptually. I think this section needs to be extended in someway. Either by separating it into different subsections or just elongating it. Finally, I think it is odd there is a separation of journalism and media and new media, rather a subsection may be more useful. If it is needed, it may be more helpful to explain how this topic has shifted with the flourish of social media.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Intergroup dialogue


 * Article Evaluation
 * What I immediately noticed upon opening up this article is that Wikipedia tells us that the writing does not represent a worldwide view. I find this concerning considering the introduction paragraph specifies that intergroup dialogue is communication between two or more people of different social identity groups. Beyond this huge issue, the organization of the article isn't terrible. It just seems incomplete. The links to other articles is really well done because it connects so well. But it also offers a lot of examples about debate, one in which I am not sure if totally needed. The sources are derived from similar areas and even the same scholar, but it needs more sources.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Political cognition


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a lot to it and would be a challenge to tackle. However, the edits are needed as it also has the issue of not having a worldwide view. Even being specifically called out for having an Anglo-American focus. I question whether or not the introduction paragraph needs extending upon. But I think other then adding the worldview this article is nicely framed out.
